A beloved singer is embracing motherhood for the first time at 41, calling her geriatric pregnancy “a gift from life.”

Veteran Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade surprised fans on July 7 with the announcement of her first pregnancy. Sharing photos on Instagram of her growing baby bump (including her silhouette elegantly cast over a public bathroom wall), she proudly proved that it’s never too late to start a new chapter.

“Five months and still on tour, five months and still growing. There is a beautiful being inside my body, and I truly didn’t see this coming,” Lafourcade wrote in Spanish alongside the sweet snaps. “What a gift from life, all while I sing and sing and keep singing for you, my beautiful people. See you very soon in Spain. In the meantime, we’ll keep growing.”
